Compare and Contrast Genesis 1&2

In Genesis chapter one verse two God was here on the earth, He hovered over water in Eden. God also began the process of creation, and began creating the earth. Not only did He create the earth, but He created mankind and animals. In this chapter it speaks of man being made in God’s image which is so intriguing. God created everything, but mankind is the only thing He created to be like Him. God gave us the opportunity to be in His likeness. Not only is that an opportunity, but it is an honor to know that God cares so much about mankind that He wants them to be like Him.

In Genesis chapter two God breathes breath into mankind, God is physically in the presence of mankind at this point. He did not come in the form of Jesus, but in the form of which He is, God. God is closer to mankind than ever before in both of these chapters. Also, God gives a test to Adam in Chapter two, which is not something that He does in Chapter one. Almost immediately after breathing life into Adam God gives Him work. I find this interesting because since the beginning God has been working. Adam is made in God’s image and he works almost immediately after coming to life. God not only made man in His image physique wise, but in all other aspects. One thing I learned from Genesis Chapter 2 verse 15 is that God has a standard for mankind, and that He expects man to take care of what He gives man. Also, in chapter one God was just with Adam even though God was a companion for Adam, Adam needed more. God saw this and blessed Him with Eve. Throughout these two chapters you get to see how creative God can be, and how much He care about mankind. God wanted Adam to be happy, and fulfilled. God had just met Adam in physical form and gave Him all the desires of His heart. I find this amazing because how often does mankind cater to the needs and wants of one another. To conclude, Both of these chapters summarize God creating the world, and show the reader how creative, considerate, loving,...

Comparison between Genesis1 & Genesis2
The story of creation begins with Genesis1 and 2, it explains how the world and it’s living inhabitants were created from God’s touch. From Genesis1 we see how the sky, seas, land, animals, and mankind were created. However Genesis2 focuses more on the first of mankind, known as Adam and Eve and how they are made to be. In this paper I will compareGenesis1 and Genesis2 and what the main idea for creation is in each one, however in my opinion there is no contradiction between the two. Genesis2 merely fills in the details that are "headlined" in Genesis1.
In Genesis1 we learn how God created the earth and the living things on it and what order they came to be in. The elements were created in the following order: Light first and darkness second marking the first day (Gen 1:3), land and seas on the second day (Gen 1:9), and the seasons on the fourth day (Gen 1:14). The living things were created in this order: Vegetation and plants were first on the third day (Gen 1:11), animals were second on the fifth and sixth days (Gen 1:20), male human...

Compare and Contrast "Genesis" and "Penetrating to the Heart of the Forest",
Looking at both myth and short story.
Although there are many similarities present, a distinct difference is made between "Genesis" and "Penetrating to the Heart of the Forest" in that "Genesis" is a mythical narrative while "Penetrating to the Heart of the Forest" is an adaptation of a mythic story (Adam and Eve) in the form of a short story. When comparing and contrasting these two stories we see similarities in storyline, themes, symbols, differences in detail, and the extent and significance of the stories themselves.
When deciding whether these narratives are myths or short stories, one must look at the contents of each piece of work. "Genesis" can clearly be defined as a myth because it contains all the characteristics of a myth. These characteristics include casual and vague descriptive writing about a very significant and important piece of work. Characteristics of myths also include "superstitious" themes, characters and the establishment of traditional ways of life and belief systems for a wide variety of people. Although "Genesis" contains one of the most popular and significant creation tales today, its lack of description and vague details account for its acceptance of being a myth. An example of this is the seven days of creation being written in one chapter;...

...Genesis One & Two Reflection
Genesis1:1, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Everyone knows this quote, and everyone understands the creation story, and how Genesis1 explains it. But what the typical person might not know so well is Genesis2, the second creation story. Or, the second account of creation. There is debate over why there are two separate creation stories that seem quite different.
There are not actually two creation stories, just two accounts of the same creation. They are told from different perspectives to give readers a better grasp on who God is and what He is like. The ancient Israelites used both accounts to shape how they saw God. The first account explains creation in a very methodical, almost mathematic way. God creates something, sees that it is good, and retires for the day. Next day, same thing, and so on and so forth, until He has created the world. He seems almost distant in this account. The second account shows Him making something, and then realizing it needs to be changed, or something else needs to be there. He is almost tinkering with His creation, as opposed to the first account in which He went day by day, knowing everything before-hand. The second is more personal, shows how God really does care for us. The first story shows the side of God that omnipotent, omniscient, and meticulous. The second...

...After looking at the vast antique collection found in the Sir John Soanes’s Museum, London, I was able to identify with 2 objects that I felt had the most interest to me. Found in the Colonnade and Dome room, I will compare and contrast the statue of Apollo Belvedere, a Greek god originally made from bronze and discovered in Rome in the late 15th century. The second is a statue of the Ephesian Diana, an Egyptian sculpture derived of marble. There are a number of statues replicating the pagan goddess, Artemis from Ephesus and can be found dating back to the first and second centuries AD. The one depicted above from the Soane museum dates back to 2nd century AD, and the head turreted crown indicates this.
The Ephesian Diana is said to be one of the most important antiques amongst the vast collection at the Soane Museum. Known as Diana (among the Romans) or Artemis (among the Greeks) she is a female Goddess based on a Greek temple design at Ephesus, where her name is derived. She is known as the goddess of moon and hunt, protector of the woodlands and is the twin sister of Apollo. She is probably best know however, by her status being The Goddess Of Fertility, clearly indicated by the numerous sculptured breasts, that many argue, are in fact bulls testicles. Helping her mother deliver her brother she is also has the reputation of being the mother goddess and is seen to bring aid for all child bearing woman, quite confounding as she...

Compare And Contrast Two Of The Major Approaches To Psychological Distress With Particular Reference To Their Theoretical Underpinnings, Therapeutic Approach And Any Ethical Issues.
Elizabeth Foster-Aileru
Clinical Psychology
UEL
Within Clinical psychology approaches such as psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive behavioural therapy, and the systemic family approach are used for persons suffering from mental distress. Here i have looked at two of these approaches systemic family approach and cognitive behavioural therapy.
Dr Freud was born 1856 he was one of the first doctors to become interested and involved in studying human behaviour. He came to the conclusion that some of his medical patients at the time were showing signs of mental distress without having any obvious physical cause .So he then went on to focus his study on the human mind, behaviour and emotions he first looked at human development from early childhood and concluded that some people did not develop in healthy ways. Freud then continued to further analyze children’s behaviours to find out where the start of the problem had emerged or blockages as he called them had transpired from .This was referred to as “psychoanalysis” The origin and development of psychoanalysis (April 1910) the behavioural therapy part of CBT came about when other psychologists throughout history wanted to gain an in depth insight into human behaviour .One of these prominent psychologists was...

ASSIGNMENT: The Impact of Globalization on Education in Jamaica
Course: Issues in Education

THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON EDUCATION IN JAMAICA
Globalization is the system of interaction among the countries of the world to develop the global economy. This system refers to the integration of economics and societies all over the world. It involves the technological, economic, political and cultural exchange.
There have been several attempts in the past to improve the quality and equity of Jamaica’s education system through the implementation of several strategically planned investments. Policy makers have failed to address the cause of the problem and this had made the diagnosis counterproductive.
However, in recent times, there has been a drastic shift towards an increase in the integration of the globalization in our Jamaican educational realm and have thus shown significant improvement in this era.
For centuries, Education has been of paramount priority for parents and guardians. A good education is the most secured asset for a child’s future so that as he reaches to a functional self sustaining adult he can contribute to the economic elevation of his family, community and thus the nation. This process is described by Travers (2002) as a lifelong experience that caters to the holistic development of any individual. It is one of...
